Description

STATE OPERATED LOTTERIES. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Enables the Legislature to authorize lotteries, provided they are operated by the State. Requires the net proceeds from any lottery to be apportioned 45% to the cities and counties by population, 45% to school districts and community college districts, and 10% to the State General Fund. Financial impact: Would produce indeterminable, though probably significant, state and local revenues, the magnitude of which would depend on lottery characteristics. State administrative costs, including promotional costs, would be less than revenues.
